The economy and the 2008 election

April 15th, 2008 | No Comments

“We’ve been down this road before. It’s the road that George Bush has taken for the last eight years,” Obama said. And: “The Bush economy is like a trap door — Too many people are one pink slip away, one missed mortgage payment away, one medical diagnosis away from falling through and losing everything,” Clinton [...]

Democrat Senators Forget all about what they ran for

March 14th, 2008 | No Comments

Remember that promise of change in 2006?  You know, the one where the Democrats promised to get rid of the cronyism and corruption in DC?  Well, they had a chance to walk the walk yesterday.  There was a bill in the form of an amendment to eliminate earmarks completely.  Here’s a list of the “changelings” [...]

Hillary claims your children will die if you don’t vote for McCain?

February 29th, 2008 | 2 Comments

I think about everyone who’s watched the Clintons for the last sixteen years or so have seen this coming a mile away and a long time comin. The message here is obvious:  Your children are at risk unless you vote for the experienced candidate.  You do love your children don’t you?  Well, then ya gotta [...]

Kentucky rejects change

November 7th, 2007 | No Comments

We had an election last night here in Kentucky.  This is how MSNBC interpreted it: Cyclist Lance Armstrong and Kentucky’s new governor were among the few people who could get voters to embrace change on a day they seemed inclined to re-elect incumbents and reject ballot measures calling for new proposals. I tired long ago [...]

Immediate expectations from the 2006 elections

November 9th, 2006 | No Comments

A lot of people are reading things into this week’s elections. Some people claimed these elections are nothing but a national referendum on Bush and/or the Republicans. As such, I posted my “anticipated results” from the elections a few days ago. I’m still sticking with those “predictions” post-election. Now, here’s what happens when “national” expectations [...]

My 2006 election day prediction

November 7th, 2006 | 22 Comments

I am basing this not on polls, because polls are just as often wrong as they are right.  I am basing this on things that matter, that are really happening.  The stock market has moved up strongly today.  Wall Street LOVES a useless split House.  When there’s no chance of significant legislation being produced for [...]

ACLU endorses the Patriot Act?

October 30th, 2006 | No Comments

Well, not exactly.  But they did drop a lawsuit against it citing "improvements to the law".  Here’s the ONLY part that was changed that appease the ACLU: The lawsuit, filed in July 2003 on behalf of the Muslim Community Association of Ann Arbor, Mich., and five other nonprofit groups, was the first legal challenge to [...]

Morgan Quitno Press released this list of the “smartest states” list. Without further ado, here it is, color coded to make it more fun to play with:   Looks kinda grim for all those people who mocked the “Al Gore voters are smarter than Bush voters” thingy from the past. However, Morgan Quitno has kept [...]

Do we “need” neoconservatism?

October 18th, 2006 | No Comments

Powerline points to a book by Douglas Murray called: Now, the premise here is that the country NEEDS Neoconservatism.  I don’t particularly think that’s true.  That’s about like saying the country NEEDS to grow older.  Sounds kinda harsh I know, but this is why I think this is true.  It’s pretty simple really:  In 1990, [...]
